T For Texas Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[CHORUS]
[D]T for Texas, T for Tennessee
[G]T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for [A]Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of [D]me

[VERSE 2]
[D]If you don't want me, mama you sure don't have to stall
If you [G]don't want me, mama you sure don't have to [D]stall
I can [A]get more women than a passenger train can [D]haul

[VERSE 3]
[D]I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall
I'm gonna [G]buy me a pistol just as long as I'm [D]tall
I'm gonna [A]shoot poor Thelma, just to see her jump and [D]fall

[VERSE 4]
[D]And if that's your mama, you better tie her to your side
If [G]that's your mama, better tie her to your [D]side
'Cause if she [A]flags my train I'm sure gonna let her [D]ride

[VERSE 5]
[D]I'm gonna buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny barrel
I'm gonna [G]buy me a shotgun with a great long shiny [D]barrel
I'm gonna [A]shoot that rounder that stole away my [D]gal

[VERSE 6]
[D]I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
I'd rather [G]drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow [D]log
Than to [A]be in Atlanta, treated like a dirty [D]dog

[CHORUS]
[D]Well, it's T for Texas, T for Tennessee
[G]T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for [A]Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of [D]me [A] [D]
